When Grandma Li heard this, she was stunned and raised her head suddenly, her expression was sluggish, as if she had not yet reacted.
"It turned out to be a genocide?!"
However, all the ministers in the court were startled and couldn't help but started talking: "I also heard noises coming from the east of the city last night. I asked my servants to go out to investigate, but they found that they were surrounded by the city guards and were not allowed to enter."
"There's a lot of movement over there in the prison!"
"I thought there were thieves causing trouble in the capital, but I didn't expect they were coming for the Li family?"
"Why the Li family? Is there any connection between this?"
This is a good question.
The eyes of Mr. Wen Ge and other important ministers all turned to the sole survivor of the Li family, Grandma Li.
"..." Grandma Li trembled all over and finally came to her senses.
Her eyes widened, her normally sarcastic face turned extremely pale, and her lips kept trembling.
"Sir, sir... the Li family you are talking about... could it be..." Grandma Li was so trembling that she couldn't even finish her sentence, with muddy tears in her eyes.
Obscene.
Impossible...
There are so many families named Li in the capital, it can't be hers!
Aunt Li's face was full of fear and anxiety, and she looked at Cui Li expectantly: "Sir..."
But Cui Li's answer cruelly broke her fantasy: "Mother Li, it was your family members who were killed!"
boom!
Grandma Li was struck by thunder in an instant, her face turned as white as snow, and she collapsed on the ground.
Cui Li said sympathetically: "The people around reported the case and the Li family was in trouble. When the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment arrived, the Li family was already covered with corpses. No one in the family was spared. They all died at home. After examination, they found out that
They were poisoned."
Aunt Li: "..."
"Poison?" One of the courtiers asked, "What kind of poison is it?"
"A kind of poison called 'Lock Heart' is said to come from Yaowang Valley and can kill people in a very short time."
Cui Li added: "In addition to the entire Li family, His Royal Highness King Yi's secret guards were also poisoned. Fortunately, they had internal protection to protect their bodies. It took a while to find the antidote before they could save their lives."
The antidote to "locked heart" is in the gourd that Yao Wuchen carries with him.
Now, the gourds harvested by Xiao Lingyue are being closely protected in the Ministry of Punishment. Many imperial doctors are studying them all night long, hoping to gain something from them.
The "heart-locking" poison in the night shelter has been resolved, the person has woken up and can get out of bed and move around.
But the Li family were just civilians, and they were stabbed in the neck by a poisonous needle. The poison spread quickly and there was no way they could be saved.
The ministers discussed a few words in low voices and were about to ask questions.
"No! How could this happen..."
Grandma Li suddenly pulled her hair and cried hysterically!
With tears streaming down her face, she knelt all the way to Cui Li, grabbed the hem of his official robe with both hands, and cried: "Sir, are you lying to me? How could this happen... It shouldn't be
That's right! My son...and my grandson, aren't they at home well?! How could this happen, how could..."
Grandma Li cried so hard that her face became distorted.
Cui Li frowned, broke away from her hand, and took a step back: "Do you want to ask why the Li family was exterminated?"
"How could this happen..." Nanny Li murmured and repeated this sentence, her eyes red.
Cui Li said calmly: "It's because of you."
Aunt Li: "..." Her crying expression suddenly froze.
Mr. Wen Ge said in a deep voice: "Master Cui, what do you mean by this?" This chapter has been completed!
